Snowdrops

We decided to go to Evenley Wood Gardens to see the snowdrops.  We were sure we hadn't been there before.  Until we arrived at the village of Evenley and had the whole déjà vu experience.

Yes, we had been there in 2017.  And looking back at the photos from then, I discovered that I took many of the same photos - standing in the same spot!

The major difference was that my 2017 photos had raindrops.

So, onto the 2019 visit.

In 2017 we went to the Great Western Arms near Aynho for lunch.  This time we drove into Buckingham and had a walkabout and lunch at The Woolpack.

Another great day out.

Thanks for joining me today.

Snowdrops

Last week, as I mentioned in my last post, we went to see snowdrops.  We went somewhere new: Evenley Wood.   It's near Brackley in Northamptonshire.

We have been to snowdrop gardens before where you walk through a smallish carpet of snowdrops but this time there was 60 acres of woodlands to meander through.  The snowdrops appeared in drifts every now and again.   I was initially disappointed but after about 10 minutes began to enjoy the variety of woodland and snowdrops.

 

 

 

I think we were about a week too early to see the snowdrops in their splendour.  And yet there were daffodils almost ready to flower.

There were also tiny cyclamen dotted around.  They were about 3 inches tall.

I was trying to get the raindrops on the branches.

The sun came out and shone onto this Witch Hazel

Having decided we will have to go back in May to see the Azaleas and the end of September to see the Autumn leaves we went to have lunch.  Roger found this excellent pub by the side of the Oxford Canal.

 We had a lovely day.

Thanks for stopping by.
